This week in Science, SLAC theorists along with an experimental group in Germany report additional details about the way these topological insulators conduct electricity. Using the topological insulator mercury telluride, the paper shows that an electric current sent through these materials goes against conventional physics knowledge and travels far away from its input points, to the outer edges of the material. http://www.physorg.com/news167497475.html Physics Wed, 22 Jul 2009 16:05:19 EST news167497475 Benny Villanueva recalls being in a Starbucks rushing to finish a college paper that was due when his laptop battery, which he'd been led to believe would last hours, conked out after only about 30 minutes. http://www.physorg.com/news166888331.html Electronics Wed, 15 Jul 2009 15:10:01 EST news166888331
